New in...

Both girls have been sick for a few days. I suppose it's the "new" daycare viruses that hit us. They haven't been so bad just a cold and some fever but now they are extremely energized and ready to play with others again. I don't understand how children can be so full of energy even though they are sick. Both of them need to have very high fever if it's gonna affect them alot and be noticeable in how active they are. My parents say I was the same way as a child. Anyway, tomorrow they are both going and celebrate " The Preschools Day".

Today me, mom and Natalie had a few hours lonely time when we went shopping in Karlshamn. The girls needed pants and socks. I don't know how we can go through so many leggins and socks, the only explanation must be that they grow as weed and the laudry machine eats all our socks...Well, we found some  other small things to, but since clothes are much more expensive here I don't really want to spend so much money on just basic clothes right now. I mean even the exactly same clothes at H&M for example are listed cheaper already to start with and I also get many more offers for deals and discounts from HM in USA than here in Sweden. They usually start their spring/summer sale alot earlier too because there are so many states in the country that have had warm weather for a long time... So all the stores (chains and good brands) I usually shop at will be having season-sale soon! (or more likely right now...) It has been so good and money saving  to have mother-in-law Rhonda in the USA! I can say that she has shipped over a bunch of clothes that I've ordered each season since Natalie was born! When the clothes are marked as gifts when they are shipped to Sweden you dont need to pay any extra custom fees or sales tax ( usually 25 % ) on the items value. But there's a limit to how much the gift can be worth in each package. I will definately start to shop online for more summer clothes as soon as the big sales starts so we'll have the summer closets ready when we get over to the hot, hot weather. Natalie got so excited last summer when we arrived to Missouri and she had several packages of clothes to try on! Hehe...that'd be something for the Mamas to wish for each vacation....just have a new closet delivered to the hotel room before arrival...(what a luxury!).

Here are some small pieces from today...an addativ of colors to the regular blue/whites.
